Alderton Infants

The Alderton Infant School shares a site with the Juniors. The two schools work closely together to ensure a smooth learning journey from Reception through to Year 6. This is achieved in a number of ways:

Well planned transition from year 2 to year 3. This includes a years 2 and 3 themed project week which, for the academic year 2014-2015 is 'James and the Giant Peach'. A series of lessons and activities are planned to help prepare the children in year 2 for the move to the Juniors.

Planned meetings and events in the Juniors for parents of children in year 2.

Joint policies on key aspects of school such as Attendance.

A shared Maths scheme 'Abacus' to ensure maximum progression in this key subject.

Shared professional development between school staff with teachers in the Infant School spending time in the Juniors and vice versa.

Governors who hold a position on both Governing Bodies.

Information sharing between schools when our families fall into difficulties, to ensure the children are appropriately supported.
